Iran fired two ballistic missiles at a joint\u00a0US-UK military base<\/a>, Diego Garcia, the\u00a0Wall Street Journal<\/em>\u00a0reported Friday night, citing multiple US officials.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/section>\n
One of the missiles failed in flight, and a\u00a0US<\/a>\u00a0warship fired an interception at the other. At this time, it has not been determined if an interception was made, but neither missile hit the base, officials told\u00a0WSJ<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/section>\n

Diego Garcia is located about 4,000 kilometers from Iran, double the 2,000-kilometer range that Iranian Foreign Minister\u00a0Abbas Araghchi<\/a>\u00a0said Iran\u2019s ballistic missiles had last month.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/section>\n

Iran ‘in advanced stages of development’ of long-range missiles<\/strong><\/h4>\n
\n

According to a report published by Israel\u2019s Alma Research and Education Center at the start of the war, Iran\u2019s missile inventory primarily consists of short-range ballistic missiles, which reach up to 1,000 kilometers, and medium-range ballistic missiles, which can reach as far as 3,000 kilometers.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/section>\n

\n

However, the Center added that \u201caccording to various reports, long-range ballistic missiles are currently in advanced stages of development.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<\/section>\n

<\/section>\n
Diego Garcia is located on an island in the middle of the Indian Ocean and functions as a strategic base, from which the US hosts\u00a0bombers<\/a>, nuclear submarines, and guided-missile destroyers,\u00a0WSJ<\/em>\u00a0wrote.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/section>\n
